String to double array

Question

I need to take this string:

Dim tmpTry As String = "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 52, 20, 20, 10, 35, 3, 8, 47, 7, 2, 5, 55, 8, 0, 0, 6, 55, 0, 2, 12, 0, 0, 21, 14, 0, 3"

And convert it to a double array:

Dim arrNumOfVisits As Double() = New Double(tmpTry) {}

How do i go about doing that?

FYI the arrNumOfVisits goes into a ParamArray System.Collections.IEnumerable()

Answer 1

Dim arrString As String() = tmpTry.Split(New Char() {" "C})
Dim arrNumOfVisits As Double() = New Double(arrString.Length) {}
Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < arrString.Length
    arrNumOfVisits(i) = Double.Parse(arrString(i))
    i += 1
End While

The above code will do the trick, using regEx on this would be overkill.

Never the less do try to learn the basic RegEx operations, here are my favorite cheat sheets: http://regexlib.com/CheatSheet.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
